This is the Historic Governor's Mansion in Cheyenne. It was home to Wyoming Governors starting with Bryant Brooks in 1905 and ending with Ed Herschler in 1976. This included the first female governor in the United States, Nellie Tayloe Ross, starting in 1925. 📷: This photo was shot with the best 35mm autofocus SLR ever made (IMO), the Minolta Maxxum 9. I used this to shoot weddings until I switched to digital cameras. The film used was Ilford FP4+ 125 ISO film.

This photo was taken in October at a University of Wyoming football game. At this game it rained, snowed, sleeted and there was a double rainbow. I developed this roll of film last weekend. It was shot on Ilford HP5+ 400 speed film, rated at 1600 ISO. The camera I used was a Leica R4 from the early 1980's. This model was used by two of my favorite National Geographic photographers, William Albert Allard and James Stanfield. It's a fun camera to use.

My second week of film photography. This is the shadow of a pine tree on rock at Vedauwoo. 📷: Shot on a Minolta XG9, the camera my parents gave me for Christmas in 1980. The film was Kentmere 400 B&W. https://www.cheyenne.org/listing/vedauwoo-recreation-area/440/

Reflection in the lake at Holliday Park, Cheyenne. 📷: Minolta Maxxum 9000, Sony 50mm f/1.4, shot on Kentmere 400 film.

For the next several months I am going to be shooting film on various cameras that I have collected over the years with the goal of posting one good photo per week. I appreciate any comments you may have. I will include technical data for other photographers that might be interested.
